He goes to lessons during fall and winter. While at his lesson this week someone asked if the facility he goes to had anyone that could make their kid a $300 million dollar pitcher!

He still has his standing room ticket stub from Game 2, and a ball signed by most of the members of that team, including Nellie Fox across the sweet spot.

My Dad was a Cardinal fan but he was a "Big Klu" fan. At the time of the '59 series, Dad was stationed in San Diego. Him and a few of his buddies scored some tickets to a WS game in LA. Don't remember which game...but Dad doesn't remember too much about the game other than he had never seen so many people in one place at the same time. Then the Dodgers played at the Coliseum. Add to it he was a sailor and alcohol had to have been involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds unlikely but thought you'd be interested in knowing. Schwarber would be deadly with that short right field porch, but if the Yankees did come calling, I hope the price is high. Right now, I'm wondering who's going to take Hamels spot in the rotation. Alec Mills? Alzolay? Chatwood (if he's ready for the start of the season)? Cotton (if he's ready as well)? The Cubs haven't made any moves this off season after speculation that there would be a major shake-up. I keep hearing Bryant and Contreras as possible trade chips, but nothing with legs yet. I'd imagine they want to see how Bryant's grievance hearing turns out before they get serious with trade talks. I just hope I don't eventually find out the Ricketts are related to the McCaskeys.

I haven't spent much time in Cub world recently but whispers of no money available seems to be the big theme. Ricketts spent so much on renovations of Wrigley and neighborhood they forgot to leave some for club. Cubs been shopping dead money contracts all winter. Shake up will come but like you said we won't be able to start until Bryant situation is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Reds pitching coach, Derek Johnson, that got Miley straightened out when he was with Milwaukee. Completes our 5 man rotation. Appears solid but you know how that goes. I think Cincy is still shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be a good middle of the rotation high inning count guy for the Reds... As I've said, all my childhood friends are Reds fans, and the friend side of me wants them to do well because it makes my friends, who I still keep in contact with, happy... The perverse side of me rubs it in when the Cubs were doing so much better... What are friends for? 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
